Hardbopjazz Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 I don't recall seeing Wayne with all grey hair. He appears to be hard at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 That looks more like WHITE hair to me. Believe me I know. . . my gray is starting to turn white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmonkie Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 The first time I saw him with Weather Report in 1973 he was turning gray. When I saw WR in '74 he was no longer gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 That makes sense. He has a very similar "slump" to my 87 year old father. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Glad he's looking a bit heartier in that photo. It was shocking how thin he looked earlier in the year at the Grammy ceremony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin V Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 He looks well and for that I am thankful. I think I'll spin Etcetera tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Wow, haven't heard this anywhere else, but in today Mosaic email, Cuscuna says. "Wayne is no longer able to play or tour, though he continues to compose." The article he links to makes no mention of this, but still, it seems plausible, and MC is not one to tell tales out of school: https://downbeat.com/news/detail/sfjazz-to-host-streaming-tribute-fundraiser-for-wayne-shorter Sobering news...

I note that nobody is saying that he "needs" a fundraiser, just that they are supporting him at this time. Having said that, yes it does, and it may be that the support now is to prevent against him actually needing one going forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Here's the schedule for SFJAZZ's streaming series which includes multiple tributes to Wayne. I believe these were all the shows hastily assembled (with Herbie's help) after he had to cancel his run last January. I got to see the 'Wayne Shorter Celebration Pt. 2' (from 1/3/19) coming up on June 26. Fridays at Five Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
